Pensacola Christian College

I loved the friends I had there, but just like any other Christian College you must be carefull who you decide to be close too. You can find people anywhere to get in trouble with, but it seems a little to easy at PCC.

Campus Aesthetics: A, Individual Value: F

Sure, PCC is a strict Christian college, but I have a hard time believing that most alumni didn't already know that going into it. Don't most people research a school before sending in an application? It is YOUR choice which college you go to. If you choose to go to PCC, then expect to live by their rules - that's no secret! If you plan to break the rules and not care, then you may as well save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. I recommend that you prayerfully consider whether this is the school for you - do your research and if possible, go to visit the campus to view it for yourself. Stay during college days to get a little taste of campus life. Most of the students at PCC are very friendly, so for those reading negative posts, please don't think that everyone that experiences PCC is immature, bitter, and loves bashing the school; or on the opposite spectrum who are "holier than thou",snotty, etc. There are those of us who went there, got our education and a lot more, and are doing fine in the world today. Now, about the education I received from PCC, I was a legal office administration major - 2 yr. AS degree. If you would like to be an admin. asst. in a legal office, or possibly advance to a paralegal position, this is a good major for you. Also, if you want any general admin. asst. positions, this will get you there. I worked for a high-tech corporation out of college and advanced in the company, supporting 3 directors and 100 employees under them. To me, the training in computer software could have been more advanced - I learned a lot of the Office products on my own, which is typical for the changing technology, but I learned enough in general from the college to keep up with today's office software. Also, the courses have probably changed since I was there 7 years ago! I learned shorthand (speedwriting) from my classes at PCC, which I have used leisurely, but most companies nowadays have their admins just bring a laptop computer into a meeting to take minutes. I don't think I ever used dictation on the job, but it's good to know how to do it just in case.
